There is no weaving in required with this kind of knot.Ĭreate your first stitch with your new ball using a slip knot (as you would when creating your first stitch to cast on).Ĭreate a slip knot in your new yarn ball.
Tighten each individual knot again by pulling the long and short end of the same yarn.Ĭut the short ends of the yarn close to the knot. The stronger you tug when they meet up the stronger the knot will be. Pull on the long ends of both the new and old yarn to slide the knots together. Pulling these two knots together will create a double knot that is almost impossible to undo. Loop the new yarn under itself and pull tightly on both its ends. Guide the new yarn back to the right over the old yarn, and over itself. Take your new yarn tail and loop it under the old yarn so it looks similar to a "P".
The old yarn will be knotted around the new yarn as opposed to with the new yarn. Loop the old yarn under itself and pull tightly on both its ends. Guide the old yarn back to the left over the new yarn, and over itself. Loop the old yarn under the new yarn so it looks similar to a number "4". The yarn tail ends should overlap about 10cm. Then lay the tail end of your new ball parallel to the old yarn with the tail pointing away from you. Lay your project out in front of you with the end of your old yarn tail pointing towards you. It won’t work for all projects - in stocking stitch it’s more likely to work its way through to the front but it can be useful for garter stitch projects. Stronger than a standard knot, a magic knot will stand up to use and is unlikely to come undone and cause your work to unravel. The disadvantages of this method are that a knot tends to show as a lump in your finished piece, it can work its way through to the front of your work and spoil the look of your finished piece, it can pull the stitches surrounding it out of shape and/or it can come undone and unravel your finished piece. Simply take your old and new strands of yarn and tie them together in a knot. If the edge is going to be sewn up you can hide the loose ends in the seam and if they’re visible, such as in our scarves or blankets, it looks less obvious than changing a ball mid-row.īeginner's guide - How to join yarn TIE A KNOT
TIP: Ideally you want to change a ball at the end of a row, for most joins.
#REJOIN YARN KNITTING PRO#
The list is certainly not exhaustive but will hopefully have you joining yarn like a pro in no time. There is more than one way to do this and generally the way you do is down to personal preference, although some ways are better suited to certain projects and certain yarns.īelow we’ve put together six ways you can join in a ball of The Chunky Wool Knitting Yarn or The Lil' Merino Baby Knitting Wool. However, more often than not, when knitting, you’re going to need to join in a new ball of yarn. A few of Stitch & Story’s kits require only one ball of wool such as the Freya Fingerless Gloves, Lola Pom Slippers or Chunky Cable Headband.
